Cat Eludes Dog With Amazing Ninja Move

As part of an ancient rivalry firmly lodged in the deepest recesses of their animal brains, a frenzied dog chases a terrified cat around a backyard. But this resourceful kitty has a trick up his furry sleeve -- a secret ninja move.

As the video begins, one-and-a-half-year-old cat Santi is being pursued by six-month-old dog Walter. They race around the edge of the backyard when Santi suddenly spies salvation in the form of a tree.

So, he leaps onto the side of the tree and clings there as Walter passes unknowingly by. Then, he dismounts and watches warily as Walter runs off in the opposite direction.
